[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Encounter at a swap meet of old car and such enthusiasts.

The van at the background is UAZ-452, a Russian 4x4 vehicle, most probably bought second hand from the Finnish Army. I also drove such on my military service. Terrible on the road, but quite capable off-road. There's a fun phrase describing it's qualities: "A UAZ will break down where no other car can go".

Hi Kari,
Ha, this brings back great memories. I was riding a Kreidler and Yamaha, but i remember these Honda's also very good. It's been a very long time since i saw such a thing, what a joy. What a great load of memories are floating in right now...thanks for uploading this one..!!!
Regards, Henk

Hello Karl. I took some time browsing through your gallery and I found them different and very interesting. This is a unique daily life composition with sharp detail and very well exposed. I like the human interactions and the machines involved. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni
